Saucer, 6.25 inches diameter. Blue transfer. Printed maker's mark for H. Alcock & Co. The Rd. No. dates the pattern registration to 1888. The inclusion of "England" in the mark dates the production date to c. 1891-1910. This pattern features a central image of a hexagon with bumped-in edges filled with a cracked ice pattern and laid under a branch with leaves and five-petaled flowers. The border consists of the same elements: branches of five-petaled flowers alternating with pentagons filled with the cracked ice pattern and small flower heads. A small band around the rim features alternating squares of diagonal lines and vertical lines with dots.

The firm of Henry Alcock was started in 1861 at the Elder Pottery in Cobridge formerly operated by John Alcock. General earthenware was produced, including white graniteware produced under the names “Ironstone China” and “Parisian porcelain” exclusively for the American markets. The firm continued at Cobridge until 1910 when the Clarence Works at Stoke were engaged. The firm then continued at Stoke under the name 'The Henry Alcock Pottery' until 1935.
